What If Pentin Hadn't Taped the Interview?
Creative Minority Report ^ | 10/17/2014 | Matthew Archbold

Posted on 10/17/2014 7:22:19 PM PDT by ebb tide

Just a quick question. As we all know now, Cardinal Kasper gave an interview which Ed Pentin of the Register and Zenit reported on in which he denigrated the African bishops. When the outrage ensued, he denied ever giving the interview and said he'd never said any of those things. Pentin, however, taped the interview.

But here's my question. If he hadn't, Pentin's career would've been harmed. Possibly irreparably. Would Cardinal Kasper have admitted to the interview or simply watched another man's life be possibly destroyed?

There's no answer. But perhaps we have our answer in that Cdl. Kasper is now publicly faulting Pentin for not maintaining "journalistic methods" because he didn't know he was being taped.

He now says he was giving an interview to two other journalists and Pentin recorded it without his knowledge. So at first he did deny saying those things but now is just saying he didn't say it to Pentin. He just said it near him.

Sooo...I'm thinking we have our answer to my question.

Another thing: yesterday, before sleeping – although not in order to go to sleep! – I read and reread Cardinal Walter Kasper's document and I would like to thank him, as I found it to be a work of profound theology, and also a serene theological reflection. It is pleasant to read serene theology.

Ping

The “Pope’s Theologian” is not only a heretic; he’s a liar.

Hard to imagine why Card. Kasper didn’t want input from Africans. Not.

Hard to imagine why Kasper is Francis' "Golden Boy". Not.

Things are really going tatas-up for Frances.

He hid behind the Golden Boy, lacking the guts to speak for himself. His vindictiveness towards Burke reveals an extremely nasty streak.

What was that about bearing false witness against someone? Isn’t that what he did to the reporter?

He sure did.

This is what Kasper said in an article back in 1967:

>>The God who is enthroned over the world and history as a changeless being is an offence to man. One must deny him for man’s sake, because he claims for himself the dignity and honor that belong by right to man.... We must resist this God, however, not only for man’s sake, but also for God’s sake. He is not the true God at all, but rather a wretched idol. For a God who is only alongside of and above history, who is not himself history, is a finite God. If we call such a being God, then for the sake of the Absolute we must become absolute atheists. Such a God springs from a rigid worldview; he is the guarantor of the status quo and the enemy of the new.<<

Kasper has also denied the historicity of Christ’s Resurrection.

Kasper is an evil man. Note his final words in the above excerpt: “enemy of the new”.

From Kasper's quote:

The God who is enthroned over the world and history as a changeless being is an offence to man.

the enemy of the new.

But God says:

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6

Kasper spews drivel. Instead of being given a prominent role, he should be locked up in a mental institution (after an exorcism).
